Wales

The United Kingdom, including Wales, is at the Prime Meridian for the Greenwich Mean Time Zone, referenced as GMT (0). Cincinnati, Ohio, US is on US Eastern Standard Time (GMT -5). So Wales is five hours ahead of Cincinnati.

Example: If it were 8:00 am in Wales, it would be 3:00 am in Cincinnati.

No its a separate county

The Merthyr Rising of 1831 was a violent climax to many years of the simmering unrest among the large working class population of the town in South Wales and the surrounding area.

Throughout May 1831 coal miners and Iron workers who worked for William Crawshay took to the streets of the own, calling for reform, protesting against the lowering of their wages and general unemployment. Gradually the protest spread to nearby industrial towns and villages and by the end of May the whole area was in rebellion, and for the first time in the world the red flag of revolution was flown. This has still to be disproved.

After storming the town, the rebels sacked the local debtors' court and took the goods that had been previously seazed. Unpaid debts were taken and given back to their original owners. Account books containing debtors' details were also destroyed. Among the shouts, were heard cries of "Caws a bara" (cheese with bread) and I lawr a'r Brenin (down with the king).

On 1 June 1831, the protesters marched to local mines and persuaded the men on a shift there to stop working and join their protest. Mean while, the British Government in London had ordered in the army, with contingents of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Scotish Troops) dispatched to Merthyr Tydfil to restore order. Since the crowd was now too large to be dispersed, the soldiers were ordered to protect essential buildings and people.

On 2 June, while local employers and magistrates were holding a meeting with the High Sheriff of Glamorgan at the Castle Inn, a group led by Lewsyn yr Heliwr (also known as Lewis Lewis) marched there to demand a reduction in the price of bread and an increase in their wages. There demands were rejected outright, and after being advised to return to their homes, they attacked the inn. Engaged by the 93rd (Highland) Regiment, after the rioters seized some of their weapons, the troops were commanded to open fire. After a very long struggle in which hundreds sustained injury, some fatal, the Highlanders were compelled to withdraw to Penydarren House, and abandon the town to the rioters.

For eight days, Penydarren House was the sole refuge of authority. With armed insurrection fully in place in the town by 4 June, the rioters had commandeered arms and explosives, set up road-blocks, formed guerrilla detachments, and had banners capped with a symbolic loaf and literally dyed in blood. Those who had military experience had taken the lead in the training of the armed para-military formation, and created an effective central command and communication system.

This allowed them to control the town and engage the formal military system, which included:

Ambushed the 93rd's baggage-train on the Brecon Road, under escort of forty of the Glamorgan Yeomanry, and drove them into the Brecon Beacons

Beat off a relief force of a hundred cavalry sent from Penydarren House

Ambushed and disarmed the Swansea Yeomanry on the Swansea Road, and threw them back in disorder to Neath

Organised a mass demonstration against Penydarren House

Having sent messengers, who had started strikes in Northern Monmouthshire, Neath and Swansea Valleys, the riots reached there peak. However, panic had spread to the family orientated and peaceful town folk, who had now started to flee what was an out of control town. With the rioters arranging a mass meeting for Sunday 6th, the government representatives in Penydarren House managed to split the rioters council. When 450 troops marched to the mass meeting at Waun above Dowlais with levelled weapons, the mass-meeting dispersed and the riots were effectively over.

By 7 June the authorities had regained control of the town through force. Twenty-six people were arrested and put on trial for taking part in the revolt. Several were sentenced to terms of imprisonment, others sentenced to penal transportation to Australia, and two were sentenced to death by hanging - Lewsyn yr Heliwr (also known as Lewis Lewis) for robbery and Dic Penderyn (also known as Richard Lewis) for stabbing a soldier (Private Donald Black of the Highland Regiment) in the leg with a seized bayonet.

Lewsyn yr Heliwr was later reprieved when one of the police officers who had tried to disperse the crowd testified that the former had tried to shield him from the rioters; but the British government, led by Lord Melbourne, was determined that at least one rebel should die as an example of what happened to rebels. The people of Merthyr Tydfil were convinced that Dic Penderyn, a 23-year-old miner, was not responsible for the stabbing, and 11,000 signed a petition demanding his release. The government refused, and Penderyn was hanged at Cardiff market on August 13, 1831. In 1874 it was discovered that another man named Ianto Parker, not Dic Penderyn, had stabbed Donald Black and then fled to America fearing capture by the authorities, and also that rebuttal witness James Abbott, who had testified at Penderyn's trial, admitted that he had lied under oath, under the orders of Lord Melbourne, in order to secure a conviction.

Pontyberry is not a real place- it's a fictional village in the South wales valleys that is the setting of the Welsh drama series 'Stella', which was launched in 2011. It's exact location is not given, for the simple reason that it doesn't really exist.

Most of Wales is either hilly or mountainous, with the mountains of Snowdonia in the north and in the south the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons.

Scotland and Wales are just two of the four countries that comprise the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Great Britain and Northern Ireland comprises four countries.

Scotland. Not an island.

Wales.Not an island .

England. Not an island.

Northern Ireland. Attached to Southern Ireland but part of the United Kingdom .

All the four countries are proud nations that form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The tempering balance is of course provided by Scotland.

"My daily routine" in Welsh is "Fy arferiad dyddiol"

"What is your daily routine?" in Welsh is "Beth yw dy arferiad dyddiol?"

The three least populated areas in Wales are often considered to be the Isle of Anglesey, the rural areas of Powys, and the Brecon Beacons National Park. These regions are characterized by their scenic landscapes and low population density, with many small villages and a focus on agriculture and tourism. The natural beauty and remote locations contribute to their smaller populations compared to urban areas.

The Welsh word for "astronauts" is "gofodwyr."

Joined on to the west of England.

Lavabread is a traditional Welsh delicacy (Welsh: Bara Lawr) made from the seaweed (Porphyra Umillicalis). The seaweed is boiled for several hours. The geletinous paste that results is caled lavabread. lavabread is traditionaly eaten with cockles and bacon or on hot buttered toast. Porphyra Umillicalis was historically harvested off the Gower coastline, near Swansea in South Wales. Swansea Market has several stalls selling only lavabread and cockles from the nearby Gower Peninsular. There are still small producers of Gower lavabread, but most commercial lavabread is harvested and produced from Western Scotland. Lavabread is particularly rich in iodene. It also contains high levels of protein, iron, vitamins B2, A, D and C. Skincare Author, Margaret Yvonne, features lavabread as a very important ingredient in the skincare book, Eczema - Dermatitis and Hives DIY Remedy.

The national colour of Wales is a red dragon on a green and white background.
Not sure what 'What I said...' in the question means?

It could be dated as 1282 with the death of the Welsh king, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd.

Independence was briefly restored under Owain Glyndwr from 1404 to 1415 and Wales was formally united with England in 1536.

British Pounds - yes

The population is so small it would only be useful in Wales.

Most people speak English which is more diverse and useful.

There is so much immigration into Wales that if the language was revived there would be a lot of people who could not understand each other.

Castle Ditch, Caernarfon LL55 2AY
Caernarfon is a North Welsh town on the Menai Straits opposite the island of Anglesey.

Welsh

Yes, Welsh was spoken in England. Welsh is a very old language, and at the time the earliest examples we have were written, parts of what is now England were entirely Welsh. In fact there are Welsh communities, in which people speak Welsh, today.
